Coronavirus Update: 1 June 2020

On Thursday 28 May, the Government announced that dental practices could open for face to face appointments from Monday 8 June, provided the appropriate PPE (personal protective equipment), procedures and training are in place.

PREPARING FOR REOPENING

We have been working hard behind the scenes to plan for the reopening of the practice, refining robust procedures to ensure our team and our patients are as protected as possible. We appreciate some of you are anxious to be seen as soon as possible, however we kindly ask you to bear with us and understand that we cannot open until we are fully prepared.

PRIORITISING PATIENTS IN PAIN

You will appreciate there are significant changes in the numbers of patients who can be seen and types of appointments that can be undertaken, particularly in these early days. Therefore we will need to prioritise patients who have a dental emergency and are in pain and have already been triaged by Dr Bolton. We have a significant number of patients in need whom we will see as soon as we are able.

NEXT STEPS

If you are in pain or require emergency dental care, please call 01428 723179. For any non-urgent enquiries, please email smile@oaklodgedental.co.uk

A poem for the tooth fairy!

07/08/2019

As the granddaughter of Dr Bolton, Chloë is well versed in all things dental! With her latest wobbly tooth almost ready for the tooth fairy to collect, she decided to write a poem. Let's hope the tooth fairy takes special care of Chloë's tooth.

My Wobbly Tooth, by Chloë

I brush my teeth every day,Brush, brush, brush, food go away.

I brush my teeth night and day,I clean, clean, clean to make them gleam.

I wobble my tooth up and down,Side to side, and all around.

When I go to the dentist,My Grandad pulls it out.

He makes it so easy,So you’ll never hear me shout.

I hide it in my special pillow,And the tooth fairy waves her magic wand.

When I wake up I throw my pillow off my bed,And see if there is a coin like my Mummy said.
